CNN 1968 Series Promos
Working with director Brian Eloe of 2C Media, Christopher Webb and the team at his studio, FX WRX, created in-camera effects for CNN's original series "1968". Iconic objects were sourced and crafted by prop master Marco Cousins. Chris and his team worked with their probe lens system to influence the visual scale of each object.
They constructed a hand operated turntable which allowed the camera to orbit around, and then glide in on, an arrangement of period microphones for the MLK themed promo. Moving light rigs, pyro-active props, and a smoke chamber were also developed to help bring the images to life.
